The fragrance of herbs permeated the entire camp. Although Zhao Hai hasn't started refining, there were already a lot of herbs in the camp. These herbs were picked by everyone, so they needed to be processed first before they could be refined.
Zhao Hai has already started making tools for refining herbs. The best tool for refining herbs was naturally a cauldron. But since Zhao Hai couldn't make a cauldron, he could only use other things as a substitute.
However, metal cauldrons and the like weren't suitable for refining herbs. This was because metal contained Gold Qi, and Gold Qi was too sharp and overbearing. If this Gold Qi enters the herbs, then the medicinal properties would change. Because of this, when people decoct herbs, they would use clay cauldrons or clay pots. Very few people would use iron cauldrons to decoct herbs.
The cauldrons that Zhao Hai wanted to make were clay cauldrons. Naturally, they couldn't ask the Sacred Institute to send them clay cauldrons. If they did, then the Sacred Institute would certainly be suspicious. Therefore, they could only make their own cauldrons.
However, their progress wasn't very smooth. This was because they were making clay cauldrons. Not every kind of clay can be made into a clay cauldron. Therefore, making a suitable clay cauldron wasn't an easy matter.
Zhao Hai used a lot of different kinds of clay but still couldn't make a suitable clay cauldron. This made Zhao Hai very depressed. This was the first time he encountered such a situation.
But soon, Zhao thought of another method, which was to use stones to make medicine pots. And this time, not only did he want to make medicine pots, he also wanted to use stones to make medicine cauldrons. Although it was impossible to add a magic array to a stone cauldron, there shouldn't be any problems with using stones to make medicine cauldrons.
Using stones to make cauldrons was very simple for Zhao Hai and the others. The weapons in their hands could all be regarded as divine weapons. Using them to carve stones wouldn't be a problem. Moreover, with their strength, making cauldrons wouldn't be a problem.
However, Zhao Hai was still very careful. He chose a lot of stones and looked at which stones were most suitable for making cauldrons. In the end, he chose a stone. This stone wasn't an ordinary stone, it was a kind of jade.
Jade was different from jade. Jade was more sparkling and translucent. When it was opened, it would give off a precious light. But inside jade, there was more stone. Although it could be regarded as a kind of jade, it couldn't be regarded as a preserved jade. Therefore, jade was much worse than jade.
Zhao Hai searched for a long time. Finally, he found a large piece of jade on the cliff that they used as a backup warehouse. Then he carried the jade back to the camp.
When Wen Wenhai and the others saw the stone that Zhao Hai brought back, they were stunned. They already knew that Zhao Hai wanted to make a cauldron, but they didn't expect that Zhao Hai would bring back such a large stone. This stone was three meters tall and was cylindrical. Its diameter reached an astonishing five meters. With such a large stone, it was very surprising to see it there, not to mention using it to make a cauldron.
Wen Wenhai looked at the large stone and said to Zhao Hai, "Commander, you aren't planning to use this stone to make a cauldron, right? Isn't this stone too big? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "We have a lot of herbs to refine. How can we not have some? Moreover, it wasn't easy for me to find this stone. It's a piece of jade, not an ordinary stone.
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Wen Wenhai and the others couldn't help but stare. Then they looked at the stone in disbelief. One must know that jade was very rare in the world of Spirit Weapons. Ordinary City Lords would be proud of having a piece of jade. This was because people believed that having a piece of jade on your body would bring you good luck.
It was precisely because jade was very rare that Wen Wenhai and the others were surprised when they heard Zhao Hai say that this stone was a piece of jade.
Zhao Hai looked at their expressions and knew that they still didn't believe him. He moved his hand and took out his long saber. Then he waved his hand and slashed at the stone. However, when his saber was about to hit the stone, he suddenly changed direction and changed from slashing to cutting. In an instant, a layer of the stone was shaved off.
Zhao Hai's slash was very accurate. This slash only shaved off a layer of the stone. However, a red light could be seen coming out from inside.
"Blood Jade?" Upon seeing the red light, Wen Wenhai and the others all shouted. However, Zhao Hai didn't stop. The long saber in his hand kept moving. Along with his movements, the stone was slowly revealed.
It was a piece of blood-red jade. Although the color of blood on it wasn't very pure, it was still very beautiful when it was placed there.
However, after revealing the Blood Jade, Zhao Hai didn't stop. He kept moving around the stone. The saber in his hand also kept moving. Slowly, the stone changed shape little by little. Finally, the stone turned into the shape of a cauldron.
Slowly, the cauldron became more and more floating. When Zhao Hai finally stopped, the huge piece of Blood Jade had completely changed. It had turned into a three-legged cauldron. This cauldron was round and had three legs and two handles. There were also strange patterns on it. It looked very beautiful. Most importantly, there was a lid on top of the cauldron. The lid looked very beautiful.
Zhao Hai stopped and looked at the cauldron. Then he nodded with satisfaction. To be honest, he didn't want to make the cauldron so beautiful. However, he felt that if he didn't make the cauldron beautiful, then he would be letting down the Blood Jade. Therefore, he made the cauldron look like this.
Wen Wenhai and the others looked at the cauldron and were startled. Wen Wenhai and the others couldn't believe that this cauldron was made by Zhao Hai. It was actually so beautiful, too beautiful.
Of course, the most important thing was Zhao Hai's strength. Zhao Hai used a saber to make the cauldron. Moreover, the patterns on the cauldron were very complicated. For Zhao Hai to use a saber to make the cauldron was very surprising.
After some time, Wen Wenhai and the others recovered. Each and every one of them looked at Zhao Hai in disbelief. Zhao Hai looked at them and smiled, "What's wrong? Why are you so surprised? "
Wen Wenhai looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Commander, I always thought that you used a flail hammer. But now I know that you use a saber. Your saber is very good." Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "I've always thought that you used a flail hammer. Now I know that you use a saber.
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I've always used a saber. However, the saber doesn't have a lot of killing energy. Moreover, its range is also small. Therefore, I made a flail hammer. Actually, my main weapon is still a saber."
Everyone was speechless. They didn't know what to say. Zhao Hai used a flail hammer to kill everyone. They already felt that they weren't as good as him. Now, Zhao Hai told them that the flail hammer was just a backup weapon. In fact, his main weapon was a saber. How could they endure this?
Zhao Hai looked at them, then he smiled faintly and said, "Alright, there's no need to think too much about it. Let's clean this place up. We'll start refining." Everyone nodded, then they immediately cleaned up the place. The ordinary stones and blood jade fragments were thrown away. However, the pieces of jade were collected by everyone. One must know that blood jade was very rare. When Zhao Hai made the cauldron, he cut a lot of jade pieces. These pieces of jade were of different sizes. The big ones can be made into jade pillows while the small ones can be made into small ornaments. They were very beautiful to wear on the body.
Zhao Hai didn't care about them. After seeing everyone put away their things, he immediately cleaned the jade cauldron. Then he added some water into the jade cauldron before lighting it with charcoal.
Zhao Hai did this to warm the cauldron. After the jade was made into a cauldron, it needed to be warmed up. First, it was to see if the jade cauldron could adapt to the high temperature. Second, the jade cauldron needed to absorb enough water so that it wouldn't compete with the herbs when decocting the medicine.
The fire needed to be steady. At the same time, the amount of water needed to be enough. Moreover, the burning time needed to be long enough. After Zhao Hai told everyone about the furnace, everyone took turns to look at the jade cauldron. They didn't want to let the water in the jade cauldron decrease.
It was at this time that they realized the use of the jade cauldron. After the water was added to the jade cauldron, they could clearly see the water level inside the cauldron. Even if the lid was closed, the jade cauldron was translucent. This was really amazing.
After a day and a night of warming, the jade cauldron was finally ready to be used. Zhao Hai placed the herbs inside the jade cauldron. Then he added the right amount of water. Then he had everyone look at the fire under the jade cauldron. They didn't want the fire to go out.
After the water in the jade cauldron dried up, Zhao Hai opened the jade cauldron. When he opened the jade cauldron, a medicinal fragrance immediately filled the entire camp. At the bottom of the jade cauldron, there was only some paste left. This paste looked black, but it smelled very good.
Zhao Hai cleaned his hands and began to dig out the paste. Then he kneaded it into pills. What was strange was that the paste was clearly black, but the pills that were kneaded were light gold. It was very strange.
Before this, Zhao had already made everyone use the leftover jade material from the cauldron to make a few jade bottles. Finally, when he took out all of the medicinal paste and made it into pills, he discovered that they had actually made nearly four hundred pills. This was a very remarkable number.
After making the pills, Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "These pills will be kept here for safekeeping. Later on, all Sky Dance Experts will receive pills every three days. Those who haven't reached the Sky Dance Realm will receive pills every seven days. Everyone will have a share. The reason I set this time for you is because after you eat the pills, you will need to digest the medicinal strength. Sky Dance Experts will need three days to absorb the medicinal strength. As for the others, they will need seven days to fully absorb the medicinal strength. Therefore, you will need to receive pills every seven days. Once someone reaches the Sky Dance Realm, they will be able to receive pills every three days. Alright, everyone can go and do what you need to do. Tomorrow morning, everyone will come to my place to receive your first batch of pills." Everyone nodded and then turned around to leave. Zhao Hai took the jade bottles and returned to his room.
